A series of photos resurfaced on Greg May's Vintage San Diego Facebook page showing President Truman's visit to San Diego on September 24, 1948. This one looks east on Washington and San Diego Avenue, at what we used to call Five Points. The tower at the right is the old Palomar Laundry. I'm sharing this to see if anyone remembers the wonderful miniature golf course that, I believe, was taken away when they built I-5.

When did San Diego dairies quit making home deliveries? The question came up on a local Facebook page and Owen Western '63 weighed in. Click HERE to see the document he presented to the jury.
